14 – Cold fire

TW// Violence

It's evening and it's raining outside. Everyone is in the main room. Mira hasn't said a word since the training. Shiro comes to Akane and touches her hair.

SHIRO: Can I braid your hair?

Akane suddenly grabbes her hand tightly.

AKANE: Don't touch me!

Then the hand that Akane is holding Shiro with, starts glowing in purple light and Akane's eyes start glowing. Shiro's hand starts burning. Ai runs to them and pushes Akane away. Akane snaps out of it, her eyes normal again.

AI: What the fuck is wrong with you?! Leave her alone.

They turn to Shiro, who's holding her burnt hand, her look shoked, tears gathering in her eyes.

AI: Are you okay Shiro?

She doesn't say anything. Tears start running down her cheaks and then she runs away.

AI: Shiro!

They look at her as she's running away. Then they turn around in anger and punches Akane so she falls to the ground.

AI: What's wrong with you!

Sei and David grab Ai.

AI: She has already been through so much. Don't make her life even more miserable!

DAVID: Ai calm down.

AI: NO! She needs to calm down. She needs to go away!

Akane stands up and starts walking away.

AKANE: I didn't want to stay in the first place!

Akane walking outside in the rain not really knowing where she is going.

AKANE: Annoying... They are all so ANNOYING!

She punches the wall and that same purple light appears and it burns of the wall.

AKANE: W-what?!

She looks at her hands.

AKANE: N-no... You are hurtting them.

She collapses to the grownd and the purple light appears and burns the ground around her.

Some hours later, when the rain had already settle down, Akane returns to her house. She goes inside and sees that Shiro is lying on the bed facing away from her.

AKANE: Shiro?

Shiro doesn't move.

AKANE: Are you sleeping?

Shiro says nothing. Akane sighs and gets in her own bed. But Shiro isn't sleeping. She's trying not to cry.

The next day Shiro wakes up and sees that Akane's bed is empty. There's a piece of paper on the bed. On it is written 'I'm sorry, I won't bother you anymore. Akane'
